was elected president. bill was speaking out on a separate screen. let me ask you, i thought of this and howard did give me credit for it in the green room before we came in. i said one reason why he put that the secretary of state on television with him as an equal. they talked about each other being partners, almost, wasn't ameliorated, softened, the lack of any woman the top position is named for the second term. and it did shut everybody up in a very nice way. it's smart, cosmetic politics. >> no, definitely. it puts her in the buddy act. you've seen him and his new chief of staff. and there is a sort of bud sdi act that he's got going on. but one of the things that you haven't seen a lot. if you think about it, one of the pairings, you haven't seen a lot of over the last four years is barack obama and hillary clinton next to each other. i think it's important not just for the cosmetics, but because you've got to at some point mix match hillary land and obama world. they're still two camps in washington. >> those 40 or 50 people working in the st
